MODERATORS
This does not add anything to the discussion. They had that infamous PC build video (for which they apologized and which they retracted) but that's the only thing I can remember in the years I've been following them.
Also, providing a detailed technical analysis was not the scope of the article. Maybe you don't follow them very much, but they usually don't do this kind of things. They mostly cover internet culture, how technology impacts society, etc., because that's their scope. This does not mean the editors are tech illiterate. The point of the article was to say that WD drives fail a lot; some publications are reporting that while some others don't say anything; and the company is ignoring the problem.
I agree that the tone of the article is pretty butt-hurt and whiny, but that's a problem of style and not of substance
